The selection of the members of the CAC will be made by the Agency Board similar to the way in which City Commissioners and Agency advisory committees are selected. This letter invites you to volunteer to become a member of the CAC by submitting an application. If you are selected to become a member, you will be asked to attend meetings on an as- needed basis in regard to the Redevelopment to provide staff, the Agency and Champion critical advice on proposed design, review the traffic study and its recommendations, and to discuss business tenants for the Redevelopment. As a CAC member, you will represent a cross-section of the community and become an important voice for the Redevelopment. CAC meetings will typically be held on weeknights and will require about a three-hour commitment per month from each member over the coming year.

The Redevelopment’s goal is to develop a cohesive plan for redevelopment of the site and will include housing, office, and retail/restaurant components. Some of the objectives of the Redevelopment include resolution of the traffic problem along the alleyway that runs adjacent to Segrell Way, to build desirable public amenities, enhance economic development and to employ good urban design and land use policies to create a unique sense of place in the community.

A copy of the application to become a CAC member is attached or, you may contact Christopher Evans at 310.253.5744 to arrange to pick up a hard copy at City Hall, have one mailed or faxed to you, or you may visit the Redevelopment’s web page at www.culvercity.org/citygov/r edevelop/proj_sepulveda.asp to download the application onto your computer.

Signed CAC applications are due no later than Monday, February 19, at 5 p.m. to:

Joe Susca, Redevelopment Project Manager, Culver City Redevelopment Agency 9770 Culver Boulevard Culver City, CA 90232

During their public meeting of March 19, the Agency will appoint the nine CAC members. That meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and will be held in the Mike Balkman Council Chambers at City Hall, located at 9770 Culver Boulevard.
